Shhhh, speed secret:

It amazes me how many blower discussions are about how much teeth you have on the upper vs lower .

In reality, the best blowers have no teeth at all.

By far one of the funniest threads yet

and the lower induction should be very smooth for optimal performance as well...

When it spits back up, it's time to shelve the blower for another one.

The worst blower I have ever had was still wonderful...

Sure don't want any teeth down there.

Too many lower teeth can be hard on ones crankshaft.

Without teeth need the fiction. Blower friction on the pulleys

Would anyone ever question that Screw Blowers are the best ?

Your lucky. Man, I've had some very well advertised blowers that where horrible. Don't always go by what the packaging looks like !

I don't know. I once had a"roots" blower that was very efficient.

I know I should stay away from Chinese blowers but I just can't stop myself.

Two lobe or 3 ? The latest 3 lobe kinda freaks me out. Call me old school.

Typically when my blower works hard for 10 minutes it ends up with lube sprayed on it's teeth.

I like your 3 lobe. My roots blowers looked more like these.

All show and no blow is a no go!

Okay, Now I understand your 'roots' comment.

This is the roots blower I've always wanted - minus the attitude.

Looks great hard anodized black.

Injection is nice, but I'd rather be blown.

Never shop for a new blower when the old blower is still around. Especially important do not take a new blower for a test ride even if you think the performance might be a little better, unless your are serious about changing your blower out. It will take years for the old blower to work right again along with many battles on things you wouldn't think mattered to the performance of the blower. In addition, even if you think everything is fixed and working properly with the old blower, it only takes some bad fuel to bring up the old problems again.

and then you find out the old blower is testing every input shaft in town to see which one is the biggest...AND installing all those input shafts in the output location. and she never let you install the input shaft back there!!!

I've never had a new blower, they've all been used. I'm always worried my blower has always sat on top of much bigger engines where it really got put to good use. Sometimes if your blower thinks you might be thinking of a new blower its boost levels seem to improve for a while before it stops working completely.

I'd be afraid a roots blower wouldn't work at all. Asian blowers seem to work well.

After a cursory review of my blower's road performance, it seems that the real issue is a concern of "over-fueling" at WOT, (wide open throat) and a subsequent choking issue developing as a result... :drool:

Did the builder of the top end use new or newer head components? The 30 year old head components may be worn out even if they pass inspection. That alone will will decrease the blowers output....

Also might contribute to the chocking issue and smoke a a little when cold out

These "head" components are 53 yrs old, and in amazingly good shape! The floatation devices are in very good shape as well, but they have had a little help from a specialist...

This is by far the funniest thread I have ever read on this forum.

Cheers boys.....:ernaehrung004:

Really comes down to this. Gotta make sure the atmosphere is right. Get your timing right. Try to keep your retard to a minimum for as long as you can. Maybe even a little advance (shoes). Then ease into it during the break-in. If you get into the blower too deep, might have some reversion.

Why wont the original BELT mine came with fit any more . Seems to be at least 5 sizes too small ! Can the belt shrink , or are the pulleys getting bigger ????
.....and the tensioner took a sh!t a couple seasons ago......

You down with "OPB"

Yeah you know me

You down with "OPB"

Yeah you know me

My blower still perform good after 32 years of service just takes a little longer to get full boost. But I'm happy with that.

May go TURBO this year and utilize all that free H/P going out the exhaust.......

Too much boost gave me pre-ignition and then the dreaded detonation causing me to throw a rod.

Just remember. Every time you lust for a fine a$$ blower, there is someone somewhere sick of its bullsh!t.

Better make sure that waste gate has been properly "adjusted" before trying to get all you can from that TURBO...

I found that the more use you blower has under it's belt the better they work. I guess there broken in just right. They know all the right tricks. A new blower is lacking in advanced technology

Some times the supercharging your getting isn't worth the supercharging your getting!

Im beginning to prefer TURBO over SUPERCHARGERS ... little slower out of the gate , but once spooled up ( mine still likes Jagermeister &Red Bull ) , they come on strong and easy on parts......

Everytime I put new rings or anything to do with a ring it always blew harder .....

New rings make them crazy, I'm pretty sure there is a main blood supply vein that runs through that finger and when you put a ring on it, it constricts blood flow to the brain and makes them crazy. Yep
It's like a anchor on your speedboat of fun.

Anyone have a blower where the input shaft and the output shaft were reversed........ That's a horrible experience to figure out........ Had that happen to a buddy once.
